Something Saturday - Origami Envelopes

Image
 Hi There Creators, Guess what? it's that time of the week again for Something Saturday!😃 This week I happened to be scrolling through Facebook and came across this origami envelope quick video, so I have deciphered the video (you know how they do it and it's so fast!) And I've worked out if you do it with 12x12" cardstock you get an envelope worthy of a card, and a 6x6" piece gives you a gift card sized envelope. Here they are: then I'll try and explain how to make them...... This first one is made using one of the 12x12" pieces of  Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper and this smaller one uses one of the 6x6" pieces of Full of Life Designer Series Paper Now, how to create these envelopes: take your square piece of designer cardstock, and fold in 1/2 diagonally Open it up and fold one side in to the middle: then fold as shown: open up the bottom flap and fold in the sides fold up the bottom tuck the point bit inside the envelope (you might want t...

Sneak Peek time again :)

Hi Everyone,
thought I'd show you a couple more cards I've been having a go at with my new stamp sets from the upcoming 2017/18 Annual Catalogue. Oh, before I forget, please could someone try and comment on my blog, as nobody has for ages, and I'm a bit concerned that I've locked something!

First up this card uses the Seasonal Layers Thinlits, Colourful Seasons Stamp Set and the matching Colour Theory Designer Series Paper - love these snowflake dies (so delicate) Oh and the branch is a die too!

 Next is this card, again using the Colourful Seasons Stamp set, and there's a new set of 3 word dies, "Lovely Words" obviously this one is "friend" lol!
Ok, what else do I have to show you? Oh yes this one, isn't it sweet? how cute are the little birds? Its one of the new hostess stamp sets (Feathery Friends) and I've used all the new colours Berry Burst, Powder Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, and Fresh fig (also with a bit of Peekaboo Peach and Sweet sugarplum😉
And lastly I was playing around with doing magic slider cards, as I thought it would make a fun card to teach at Bendigo Craft Alive (which incidentally the dates are Friday 16th to Sunday 18th June)  I won't be teaching this particular slider card, as I have a better (in my opinion) one! this one uses Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.

I do have a son (Samuel) who loves dinosaurs, so I thought he'd enjoy seeing this one! having said that I've just realised that I haven't finished off the top!  oops, probably as I'm waiting to order a specific punch to use, but I can't order it till the 1st June (Oh the wait!!)

Ok well that's it for now, I'd best be off to bed!  Hope this inspires you to have a go, and someone/anyone!  please comment below to prove that I can have comments on my blog 😀

God Bless love
